They don't get to see the pain of a knife being stuck into their victims, watching as the life leaves them.

This way, they can go home at night and sleep with a good conscious. After all, "it's business"

http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/mezvinsky.asp

Before I came to Cincinnati, I was a news reporter at WOC in Davenport Iowa. I covered a lot of city council and a lot of political stuff. One of the guys I covered was Ed Mezvinsky, who was the Congressman from Iowa's first district. Seemed like a pretty nice guy, but when he ditched his wife for a New York reporter, the Iowa voters ditched him. My most vivid memory is that he sat on the House Judiciary Committee that was deciding the fate of President Nixon. Anyway, years later, "Fast Eddie" got caught with his hand in the till. He cheated investors out of more than $10 million dollars. He went to prison for several years. This weekend, his son married Chelsea Clinton.

After all they threw Sara Palin under the bus.

Who I think probably cares more about womens issues than Hillary does. ie that shows you how far conservative I think she is

This reminds me of Whale Rider. Where we nominated a 13 yr old or so because it woulda been the first woman nominated in that category. She didn't win but it was the thought that counted. Bit more riding on this though. Wall Street vs Wall Street hey the young love Trump they'll come out in troves if Jesse Ventura is for trump you know who's winning in November.

Johann Hari: How Goldman gambled on starvation: Speculators set up a casino where the chips were the stomachs of millions. What does it say about our system that we can so casually inflict so much pain?

Too long to quote at length, but this is particularly relevant to the Democratic primary:

Then, through the 1990s, Goldman Sachs and others lobbied hard and the regulations were abolished. Suddenly, these contracts were turned into "derivatives" that could be bought and sold among traders who had nothing to do with agriculture. A market in "food speculation" was born.


snip

If we don't re-regulate, it is only a matter of time before this all happens again. How many people would it kill next time? The moves to restore the pre-1990s rules on commodities trading have been stunningly sluggish. In the US, the House has passed some regulation, but there are fears that the Senate – drenched in speculator-donations – may dilute it into meaninglessness. The EU is lagging far behind even this, while in Britain, where most of this "trade" takes place, advocacy groups are worried that David Cameron's government will block reform entirely to please his own friends and donors in the City.

Only one force can stop another speculation-starvation-bubble. The decent people in developed countries need to shout louder than the lobbyists from Goldman Sachs.


http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-how-goldman-gambled-on-starvation-2016088.html

Before some Goldman Sachs apologist notes that this report is from 2010, be advised that it recounts something Goldman Sachs had already done. It was not intended as breaking news.

Okay, apologies for the prayer.

That guy scared me because a thousand years ago when I was in my teens and twenties, creeps like that menaced me everywhere I went, and, being hopelessly logical at the time, I could not understand why they acted that way. They reminded me of lizards. Fortunately, when they offered me crass material stuff or "fun experiences," something deep inside said, "get away," so I picked up my poetry book and went home. I feel very sad for the girl in the photo.
